Codeworks is a 12-week coding bootcamp in Barcelona Spain.
The course trains students as software engineers, and students will learn to build complex apps with an advanced understanding of JavaScript.

At the end of the course, you will be able to make entire applications and contribute to coding projects of any size.

The program begins with a 4-week remote intro course for beginners, where you will learn programming fundamentals, basic JavaScript + HTML + CSS, basic HTTP + Linux + jQuery. Then, you will progress to the 8-week, remote pre-course, which includes intermediate JavaScript + HTML + CSS, jQuery, Git, Developer tools, and intro to APIs. This course is divided into two s...

1. Startup Scene

When a startup chooses its working location, there are three main areas taken into consideration: access to customers, ecosystem and affordability. This is why London and Berlin have always been ranked among the favorite European cities for startups. Entrepreneurs gravitate towards these financial tech centers, but over the past five years there has been an entrepreneurship trend towards the Southern countries. Barcelona has been leading the pack with the highest number of...

Hi, Alessandro! What motivated you to start a bootcamp? We wanted to create the best coding bootcamp in Europe. We think Europe has a long way to grow in tech, and are looking forward to collaborate with anyone who shares this dream. What challenges have you faced so far with starting your coding bootcamp? It’s hard to find the perfect campus, hire the best collaborators, and get your message through to the most ambitious students. I think we’ve passed the first two challenges and are now...

"Excellent."

I waited a bit before writing my review as I had taken some time off before applying: I needed to make up my mind on where I wanted to live, which role, etc. I had therefore little visibility on how I would perform compared to the rest of the "market". However, I am now in the position to attest that the things we learned and the depth of our knowledge in Javascript and software development in general is really, really good. If you're skeptical about whether those months can take you to a professional level, please, know that it really will.
You'll get much more than just knowledge in web development. You'll get the right fundamentals (algorithms, data structures, etc), which makes a whole difference on your approach when you'll start building things: you'll be able to judge the effic...

"Mind-blowing - Highly recommended"

If you're reading this, chances are that you are thinking about attending Codeworks and want to read about the experience from previous students. I did the same exact thing before I applied to the bootcamp and I was grateful that others took the time to write about their journey, so I think it's only fair to do the same thing for those who come after me.

Before I continue, let me give you some context... I've always loved logic and I learned how to program at an early age. Having said that, I was looking for guidance to get a clear picture of all the elements involved in software development (building, testing, deployment, etc). That's why I applied to Codeworks.

I was looking for something that forced me to step out of my comfort zone and Codeworks certainly did that. I knew the ...

"Great experience, learned tremendously"

I just graduated in December and Codeworks was an amazing experience.

It is definitely very challenging and intensive, but the instructors and TAs are always very helpful, the infrastructure is extremely good and having colleagues that are just as dedicated as you makes the learning process much better. At the end of the course, you are just amazed at how much you've learned!

I can definitely recommend the course for those who want an intensive and immersive experience.

"One of the best experiences in my life"

Should you attend Codeworks?
If you are reading this, the answer is most likely yes.

I started programming during my childhood and have been studying web development for about two years before I entered Codeworks. Naturally I had a lot of doubts whether a coding bootcamp would be the right choice for me. The answer as I soon found out, is a resounding YES.

The way the program is structured gives you a lot of freedom to develop your skills at your own pace. Codeworks provides you with the best possible environment for deliberate practice, always making sure you are not getting stuck.

The curriculum is being improved and updated in every iteration and solves one of the biggest issues during self-study: What should I focus on?
This is something I see many people struggle with in...

"Great teachers, inspiring co-students, good vibes!"

I have very sunny memories of my time at CodeWorks Barcelona from July to October this year. CodeWorks is located near the beach in a beautiful, light building with high ceilings. The teachers are not only technically skilled but also a lot of fun to hang around with, the weather was great and on top of all of this I even managed to learn heaps and stacks!

-The founders of the school are nice people with a positive outlook on life. They, like the rest of the staff, are really dedicated to provide you with all the opportunities to make your 3 month stay as rewarding as possible and this shows in the attention to detail they have. In our first week we all came together in the patio and were taught how to do various back exercises and how to create an optimal work environment as to avoi...

"10/10 would attend again"

Long story short: Codeworks was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend it.

I'm pretty sure that if you're reading this, you have doubts about coding bootcamps and/or Codeworks. I was the same. I am a skeptical person. Before attending, I was afraid this would be a scam, even though it had all of these positive reviews. The concept of a coding bootcamp and of changing career in so little time felt alien. Attending would involve leaving my job, spending a lot of money and moving to another country. And while I knew I liked coding, I wasn't sure I'd like web development.

I went through the application process anyway, which I thought at first was quite easy. I visited the Codeworks campus while on vacation and I felt it was worth going ahead. So I got accepted in the p...

"Found exactly what I was looking for."

I started the Codeworks bootcamp in April 2018 and graduated in August 2018, here’s my background, bootcamp experience, and outcome:

BACKGROUND
- 34 years old.
- Bachelor’s degree in journalism.
- Got into coding over two years ago.
- Wanted to choose the most demanding, hardest bootcamp I could find.
- Wanted to switch careers and become a front-end developer.

BOOTCAMP EXPERIENCE
- The pre-course will feel hard an give you a good grasp of the hard-parts of JavaScript.
- Your batch will be formed by people from a myriad of countries and backgrounds.
- Codeworks people are flexible with misfortune (and great people too): I had a bike accident and broke my collarbone one week into the program and needed surgery two weeks later. Had to restart the whole thing on the next bat...

"Life Changing, Inspirational"

CodeWorks is an incredible experience. If you are wanting to learn to code this is the only bootcamp worth considering in Europe right now.

The level of tuition is super high, the teachers are very knowledgable and very easy to talk to and you are always learning cutting edge technologies and only utilising best practices. The curriculum is also constantly evolving to keep up to date with the demands of modern JavaScript.

It's intense, however the atmosphere is really friendly, with everyone fully supporting each other the whole time. Students work together to motivate each other and help each other and achieve goals you wouldnt think possible.

After just a few weeks of leaving CodeWorks and I am already settled into my new role as a Front-End Dev. I was very nervous about th...

"Great experience and all the goals accomplished!"

As all the places there are good things and bad things, the reason why I leave 5 stars is because the good things in Codeworks are undoubtedly the most important things.

- I have learned a lot during this time with Codeworks, possibly everything I need to be prepared in today's job market, and I think that without Codeworks it would have been very difficult and it would have taken much more time.

- I met a lot of amazing people with my same interests.

- After 2 weeks of finishing the bootcamp, get a Full Stack job in a very good company with a very fair salary.

For these three reasons I think that Codeworks deserves the 5 ends, and these are the things that I think could be improved, and that you should keep in mind before starting in Codeworks to be more prepared:

"If you are motivated and willing to work hard, Codeworks will turn you into an exceptional software developer!"

I'm writing this review 9 days after graduating. And guess what? Today I accepted a very cool job here in Barcelona as a software developer with a competetive over industry average salary. Codeworks set me up with the company on the last week before graduation. I was also doing interviews with multiple other companies with real offers on the table, which I declined.

Before taking the course the first thing I did was to google "codeworks". I read all reviews or comments I could find. What made me initially suspicious was that all the reviews were 5-star, and I couldn't find enough criticism. So I was afraid that this could be a scam or a money-grab. But I took a leap of faith, and started anyway. And let me tell you, it's real, and you should take the course!

"The only bootcamp to consider"

It’s been over a year since I decided I wanted to become a software developer and almost 3 months since I finished what was probably to date one of the most transformative periods of my life - the Codeworks coding bootcamp.

There are a number of reasons why I decided to wait before writing this review; the main one was to understand the skill level that the course had given me, but also so that I could fully digest what was a very intense experience which was filled with loads of highs and very few lows.

I have tried to be as candid as possible, with the intention of giving you a clear and realistic impression of what it is like to be a Codeworks student and also how you can maximise the effect the bootcamp will have in your professional endeavors.

"Beyond my expectations!"

I joined the January batch in 2018 and immediately realized that it was going to be such an AMAZING experience. This by far the best bootcamp in Europe.

Here my considerations:
- ENVIRONMENT: there are two big areas inside and a kitchen. Outside a wide garden shared with other companies where you can relax and meet other people.
- THE PROGRAM: it keeps the pace going in depth into the last technologies. People claim the course takes place from 9am to 9pm. Actually it's not true, because sometime you will leave at 10pm and later! And you know what? When you go back home you don't wanna falling asleep, you can't wait to keep studying! I didn't think I could put such a huge amount of information in my mind in a short time and in a constructive way.
- INSTRUCTORS/STAFF: strongly quali...

After only three months (4 if you count the precourse (which is very well done and didactic)) I feel very prepared to start work as a web developer. The course covers many of the theory one might learn in a CS curriculum and offers exposure to modern JS frameworks and tools like React/Redux, Angular, Node, Express, Koa, Mongo, Mongoose, Monk, SQL, Webpack, and Git. There are others but these were the main ones. There was a surprisingly thorough emphasis on common (not exclusive to JS) programing patterns and idioms, which I appreciated. The course is lead by the two founders Arol and Alex who are both great people and good, knowledgeable instructors. While working on assignments and projects there were two to three former teaching assistants who were all former students. The TA's were ...

"Amazing experience!"

CW is still a young and growing bootcamp, but is proving to be one or the best bootcamp in Europe.
The challenges I had to face everyday were huge, because studying here is very demanding but the good is coming now after finishing it, finding myself able to build stuff, learn new things and technologies with ease, apply for positions and being considered by employers! Now, I'm working with leading libraries like React and React Native, build chrome extensions, create phone app and countless other things.
Yes, at first I was unsure about it and more in general about bootcamps, but trust me, it totally worths your efforts.

"I was far from being new to Javascript, but I still learned a lot. High niveau even for experienced Frontend Developers - effective, efficient and recommendable."

Having been a Software Developer and Consultant for many years, I was way older than most of the other students. The plan was to take a crash course in Node.js stack and it turned out to be a good choice. These people know what they are doing and the students are on a high level. Definitively recommendable.

"Coding is better in the sun"

I found out about Codeworks via the relations with my University. Coming here was the best thing I could ever do. I completed my knowledge about coding and now, just after 3 months, I'm able to create Wonderfull projects (some are deployed already!), and I feel ready to hit the job's world. The environment here is amazing, everybody is so motivated that push you so hard. I suggest Codeworks to everybody that really wants to start coding and have a career in this field.

"I met the most talented people at Codeworks"

I attended the 12-week full-stack program Codeworks is running in autumn-winter 2017. It was one of the most rewarding experience in my life. The environment is the best I could ask for, both the personnel at school and the classes are very supportive and nice and their facilities are great. The course is very demanding, but for our benefit, I learnt an insane amount, and was really proud of what I was able to build. The program is the right mix of theoretical and practical. I can only recommend anyone to join!
